Hello ladies!! I am very happy indeed to find you all in good health and spirits...thank you for taking time out of yoour busy lives to let us catch up some I truly appreciate it!Jenny- Congrats on the new job, was it a choice to switch or did you have to?? Here's hoping you get to hear that awaited HB on Friday I hope I get to be there again someday Happy to hear that things are going good so far and know that you are def. in my prayers xoxoMichelle- When I don't hear any news from you girl I get worried and try to tell myself that no news is good news and I'm very happy to hear that it is!! I cannot wait to hear your next update and know that this LO is doing good...and yeah don't let any comments deter you from your good mood and your good thoughts..it doesn't matter what size you are as long as baby is on track and that he/she is healthy..enjoy that belly mama you've sure earned it!! As for the mother in law thing, well I guess I have to give the advice of following your hearts and your instincts...nothing works best than that when it comes to your LO and if you feel uncomfortable then you can't leave her to watch him/her...and yes it will probably make her feel somewhat sad but the truth still needs to be said..I would probably say it like I was thinking of her and thinking of her age and limitations and the fact that there has been some fainting spells...put the situation in front of her and make her aware of "how would you feel if you were in charge of the baby and you fainted again? Or what if you fainted with baby in your arms?" I'm sure once you and hubby sit down with her and tell her (from your hearts) what the concerns areshe will more than understand..and then you could offer her to watch baby while you guys are at home but busy doing something (laundry, housework etc)..this way she could be helping out and you guys could have the piece of mind...this is just an idea so go with what feels right for you guys of course I hope the next appt goes well xoxoHappy Monday to all AND LADIES---KUP!!View Thread

So I'm sure we all agree (over on TTCAL) that it's simply been long enough now w/o an update on our favorite pregnant ladies..where are you guys? I hope each and every one of you is well and that no updates is a good sign! But if you could we would love to peek in on you ladies!!!Hope to see you all soon xoxoView Thread

First off I wanted to send you (((hugs))) for your previous losses and I'm sorry to **meet** you under those circumstances..now as for the HCG results here is my opinion...That 1st result was awesome and the fact that the 2nd one wasn't doubled as OBs would like is a little worrisome but they can only be certain once they check on baby a 3d time either by another HCG blood draw or by US..I hope that by now you have gotten great results from this US (since we are now Monday)..if you can keep me posted!Good luck and sticky baby vibes sent your way..View Thread

Hello there..I am so sorry for your loss (((hugs)))...What Drs usually tell us after a loss is that the normal range to see period come back is 6-8 weeks after the m/c..if you m/c naturally on 4-1 then it could still take another full two weeks before you see it arrive...some women even take longer than the 8 weeks and some do take less time...I myself have been through numerous losses in my lifetime and most of the time I will see her come back around 5-6 weeks after the loss..if you would like some peace of mind though do get yourself a home pregnancy test and try that out with first morning urine and if it's negative then you'll probably be seeing her in the next two weeks..you could also go in to voice your concerns to your Dr. and he/she would do a urine analasis or even blood draw to check for a new pregnancy...Good luck and keep us posted xoPS: I wanted to mention that this board is for women who are pregnant now after a loss..there is a coping with pregnancy loss board and there is also a trying to conceive after a loss board as well where you will find many amazing women who have all been through one or more losses and who know how you're feeling about all this..you can find me on that board too..

Hey ladies, I hope you don't mind me lurking in here and dropping my two cents...Jenny- Hope the appt. went well xoMichelle- (((hugs))) momma I know what you're feeling..I've been through 3 consecutive losses too and I know IF I get lucky enough to conceive again I will be TOTALY paranoid throughout the pregnancy..even after reaching the milestones it's like that feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop just never seems to go away...of course you don't want to be thinking this way but you just can't help it...I know exactly how that goes...(((hugs)))You must try to find little things to distract your mind when you feel yourself going this route...you're worried and I know until you hold that LO in your arms you won't be able to stop but try to find those little things that will distract your mind like turning on some music, reading a good book, going for a walk..I'm just throwing out ideas at you but whatever works!..and of course we are always here if you need us View Thread

Hey Shana, happy to see you taking full advantage of your free afternoons to get what needs to be done, done..if that incudes naps then so be it I'm also here to say that you will no doubt have company here soon..why don't you lurk on over to TTCAL and check out who got her BFP today View Thread

Don't ever feel like you have to apologize for taking some time off from writing on these boards because we all know how life gets so complicated sometimes that we simply don't always have the time for everything..just focus on you and that baby..I am so, so overwhelmingly happy to have found you with such happy news happening..You will def. be part of my prayers xoxoView Thread
